    I dont have salt on my chips, just vinegar but when they ask and you say "just vinegar" they've already gone into autopilot and have the salt shaker in their hands as they ask and you get salt on the chips - yuk! so they have to throw them away and start again - so always vinegar first AND last! another good video Charlie!

      Lol yep I see that happen aswell. I havnt had chip shop chips for a while but I normally ask to do it myself.
      They can be a little mean with their salt and vinegar lol

    I'm going to pickup 2002 ish V Rod Harley to flip, sit in storage for years. Someone's midlife crisis Charlie lol, I've researched a few parts & it's been sitting with all liquids, your a motorcycle mechanic & you know the story on that one 💯👍

    Regarding the cleaning, a handful of small nuts and bolts ( counted of course so you know that they are all taken out ) put in the tank and then shaken should loosen any stuck on rust . Then flush out any sediment . I don't suppose that the ethanol in the fuel absorbing moisture helps .

      I'm on my second flush now today. It flash rusted very quickly because I didn't do enough and dry it properly. Do another 24 hour vinegar soak but this times rinsed and dried first

    It's worth taking the shaft off to clean and grease the cogs/splines. Mine was really mucky and dry.

    Since you ask salt and only salt as I hate vinegar. Not that I remember the last time I had chips from a chip shop. A good six years at least.

    • @motorcyclerescuer
      @motorcyclerescuer  2 года назад +2

      I do like a salty chip. But it's vinegar for me then salt so it sticks lol.
      I think I got chips when this vid was made, but hadn't had them for years the same as you.

    I don't think that salt and vinegar has been an issue for me, but I do notice and enjoy a salt saturation for the top layer of chips on occassions

      You can use a dummy tank for testing purposes, but you need an mot approved one otherwise.
